Again according to Junaid Babar, he and Sajil Shahid
traveled to the district of Malakand on the al-Qaeda controlled Afghan
frontier areas in 2003.

There they set up a terror training camp. "Q" in Luton
sent Omar Khyam and Mohammed Sidique Khan to Lahore in July 2003. Babar
then met them both at the airport along with some of the other Crawley
plotters.

Newsnight has discovered that some of those who were alleged to have helped the men involved in the London bombings and the Crawley plot are still walking the streets of Britain.
During the course of our investigations we confronted two of them on camera. One was a man known as "Q" from Luton. The other was Sajil Shahid whose last known address was in Barking. ["Q" AND Shajil Shadid who was in Queens NY]

An underground missile city? More "diplomacy" from Peloshia's best pal, baby Bashar. It seems Israel is sinking under the dead weight of Abu Dana Olmert and her mortal enemies. I don't question Israel's ability to win, just the leadership's ability to pull the trigger.

Olmert's hand picked Blue Ribbon Israeli panel investigating the Olmert governments'
handling of the Second Lebanon War has issued its findings. Notably,
it does not call for Olmert to resign, and he has already said that he won't go no matter what the findings. What an outstanding show of patriotism and leadership. More here at YidwithLid and here at Baldheaded Geek.

JERUSALEM (AFP) - Syria has built a fortified complex buried deep underground and cloaked in secrecy to manufacture and store ballistic missiles capable of striking Israel, an Israeli newspaper said on Monday.

The complex includes 30 reinforced concrete bunkers, production facilities, development laboratories and command posts, the mass-selling Yediot Aharonot quoted "foreign experts" as saying, without specifying its location.

Note the quotes around foreign experts - there goes that jihad loving AP editorializing in their news articles again.

The "missile city" houses mainly Scud missiles capable of reaching anywhere in Israel. Given its weak air power, Damascus is boosting its arsenal of surface-to-surface missiles and protecting them in the complex, Yediot said.

According to the paper, Syria has 200 Scud-B missiles, 60 Scud-C and a certain number of North Korean Scud-D missiles with a range of 700 kilometres (434 miles), and has developed chemical warheads for all its Scuds.

The chemical warfare agents are stored in a separate facility, Yediot quoted the foreign experts as saying.

It also said that Iran recently supplied Syria with around 100 Chinese shore-to-sea C-802 missiles -- the same missile that Hezbollah used to hit an Israeli warship during last year's Lebanon war.

People of Israel, snap out of it. The two state solution is a final solution. You must throw Olmert out, a/s/a/p - like yesterday.

I met with Sandmonkey (at an undisclosed location) and commiserated. He is as charming and
clever as you might expect from the "writer of an extremely cynical,
snarky, pro-US, secular, libertarian, disgruntled sandmonkey." Fabulous. But his
words of premonitory warning gave me great pause. He has scorn for the
"new Democrats" that sold out reformers and activists and destroyed
fledging movements of democracy.

Upon learning of his blog departure, I was heartbroken. Look, the blogosphere and the fighters for liberty and democracy lost a warrior when Sandmonkey backed away from the keyboard, signed off on his blog and wrote his last post here.

One of the chief reasons is the fact that there has been too much heat
around me lately. I no longer believe that my anonymity is kept,
especially with State Security agents lurking around my street and
asking questions about me since that day.
I ignore that, the same way I ignored all the clicking noises that my
phones started to exhibit all of a sudden, or the law suit filed by
Judge Mourad on my friends, and instead grew bolder and more reckless
at a time where everybody else started being more cautious. It took me
a while to take note of the fear that has been gripping our little
blogsphere and comprehend what it really means.

SANDMONKEY: "Any kind of democratic reform in the country [Egypt] for the past 3 years has been rolled back specifically because there is no more pressure coming from Washington anymore."

ATLAS: Why? What happened to the pressure in Washington?

SANDMONKEY: You know what happened to the pressure in Washington. The Democrats won the Congress. There is no more pressure coming from Bush because he is not able to push people anymore to do those things. He is not able to push the Egyptian government anymore because the American public is suddenly not interested in reforming the Middle East because of what's going on in the Iraq. So suddenly the Egyptian government is not afraid of the American pressure. They are doing whatever they want to do. They are beating up demonstrators, they are cracking down on activists, they are changing the constitution, and eroding civil liberties once and for all and they are using proxies to take down bloggers.

On personal security:

SANDMONKEY: Security people began to ask more and more questions about me. I ignored it. But I don't think about stuff like that. You can die any day. Is that going to stop you from living? No. So they can crack down and and they can get me any day. There is no point in worrying about that. But when are on my doorstep, and coming down on me and you see people in Egypt getting arrested left and right for no reason and being charged with the most ridiculous charges..... the majority of the Egyptian blogosphere is becoming silent. People that were vocal before are censoring themselves big time.

ATLAS: Who are they arresting and for what?

SANDMONKEY: They're arresting activists. People they don't like. They are threatening to arrest any journalists with the new terrorism law who might voice any opinion that contradicts with the government. They are calling anybody the defends that is deemed a terrorist as a terrorist collaborator and should be thrown in jail. And the thing is there is no definition of "terrorist." Anybody can be a terrorist. They actually stated that trying to pressure the government is a form of terrorism. Anybody that talks bad about the government ...........lawsuits left and right for "defaming Egypt's reputations."

On the Democrats embracing Muslim Brotherhood:

Atlas: Where you shocked when Hoyer met with the Muslim Brotherhood?

SANDMONKEY: Let me tell you something. I was in Turkey a couple of weeks ago and I met a couple of Syrian activists. They one thing they told me that was really funny about the Pelosi visit. After Pelosi came to Syria two things happened. People on Syrian TV were saying, "We forced the Americans to knock on the Damascus gate!"Sort of like an admission that we messed things up in Iraq so much that America had to come and beg for their help.

But the day after Pelosi's visits there were immediate arrests of Syrian activists. That was the fruit she yielded. "Oh the Americans came over and they said they have a different foreign policy and they're more interested in placating Bashar's ego." And he went out and got [arrested] everyone he wanted because he knew he had an ally in Washington that wouldn't pressure him as much.

ATLAS: Isn't that disgusting?

SANDMONKEY: Yeah, but what are you going to do?

ATLAS: We have to educate the American people. You think the American people know this?

SANDMONKEY: No, but do they even care at this point? I don't think they are interested in the discussion any more. There are people that have made up their mind, they think we need to placate the dictators because America is wrong and everyone else is always right. That's how they operate.

SANDMONKEY: What they are doing is completely irresponsible.

ATLAS: THe world is watching.........

SANDMONKEY: Of course the world is watching and the world is gloating.Everyone wanted Bush to lose the 2004 elections. If he had lost 2004 we would not have had our push for democracy in 2005. The moment Bush won again that's when Mubarak said maybe we should have democracy because Bush didn't go away. And had Bush gone awaythere wouldn't be democracy right now ...... like there wouldn't be two years of freedom and fresh air that we were able to breathe and that' we've had.After 2006 [elections] the change went in the opposite agenda.

ATLAS: As an Egyptian who understands democracy, life, liberty the pursuit of happiness....and who admires America. Looking at America, I want to know what you see.

SANDMONKEY:I'm seeing a country in great danger. Simply speaking, I don't think the people get what's at stake anymore. I don't think they see where they are heading.

There's more on compromise, diplomacy, Rumsfeld, Bolton, truth, Israel, the second amendment, the Bedouins, America's founding forefathers ........Listen to the interview. Every word.

UPDATE: More of Pelosi's fruit:Repression getting worse in Syria: opposition figures AFP Six leading opposition figures jailed in Syria
warned on Tuesday that the "repressive climate" in their country was worsening
and called for the release of all political prisoners.

Two weeks ago, as I was starting my sixth month of duty in Iraq, I was forced to return to the USA for surgery for an injury I sustained prior to my deployment. With luck, I'll return to Iraq to finish my tour.

I left Baghdad and a war that has every indication that we are winning, t o return to a demoralized country much like the one I returned to in 1971 after my tour in Vietnam. Maybe it's because I'll turn 60 years old in just four months, but I'm tired:

I'm tired of spineless politicians, both Democrat and Republican who lack the courage, fortitude, and character to see these difficult tasks through.

I'm tired of the hypocrisy of politicians who want to rewrite history when the going gets tough.

I'm tired of the disingenuous clamor from those that claim they 'Support the Troops' by wanting them to 'Cut and Run' before victory is achieved.

I'm tired of a mainstream media that can only focus on car bombs and casualty reports because they are too afraid to leave the safety of their hotels to report on the courage and success our brave men and women are having on the battlefield.

I'm tired that so many Americans think you can rebuild a dictatorship into a democracy over night.

I'm tired that so many ignore the bravery of the Iraqi people to go to the voting booth and freely elect a Const itution and soon a permanent Parliament.

I'm tired of the so called 'Elite Left' that prolongs this war by giving aid and comfort to our enemy, just as they did during the Vietnam War.

I'm tired of antiwar protesters showing up at the funerals of our fallen soldiers. A family who's loved ones gave their life in a just and noble cause, only to be cruelly tormented on the funeral day by cowardly protesters is beyond shameful.

I'm tired that my generation, the Baby Boom -- Vietnam generation, who have such a weak backbone that they can't stomach seeing the difficult tasks through to victory.

I'm tired that some are more concerned about the treatment of captives than they are the slaughter and beheading of our citizens and allies.

I'm tired that when we find mass graves it is seldom reported by the press, but mistreat a prisoner and it is front page news.

Mostly, I'm tired that the people of this great nation didn't learn from history that there is no substitute for Victory.

Check this out. CAIR is sending this "alert" around to their followers urging them to
begin the application process to receive monies, training and purchase dollars for equipment such
as video cameras, alarm systems and other security enhancements mde available from DHS Grants. Let's consider what CAIR and the terrorists they sponsor do with that information. Clearly, this was not what the 24 million was intended for. The reality is Hate Acts Against Muslims are Waaaay Down. Me thinks this is of a more urgent nature: Report: Anti-Semitic attacks up 50%

The following information was released by the Department of
Homeland Security:

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
announced today that nonprofit organizations in the 46 designated UASI areas are
eligible to apply for funds as part of the fiscal year (FY) 2007 Urban Areas
Security Initiative (UASI) Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP). This grant
program will provide more than $24 million to eligible 501(c)(3) organizations
who are deemed high-risk for a potential international terrorist
attack.

Grants will be awarded to nonprofit organizations through their
eligible State Administrative Agency (SAA) according to criteria that
includes:

Prior identified and substantiated threats or attacks toward
the nonprofit or closely-related organization, either within or outside the
U.S., by a terrorist organization; Symbolic value of a site as a highly
recognized national or historical institution that renders it a possible
terrorist target; Organization's role in responding to or recovering from
terrorist attacks; and Organization's credible threat or vulnerability, as well
as the potential consequences of an attack, as determined by a previously
conducted risk assessment.

The federal grant funds must be used for
target-hardening activities, which can be accomplished through training or the
purchase or installation of security equipment on real property owned or leased
by the nonprofit organization. Allowable equipment is limited to physical
security enhancements (e.g. alarm systems, bulletproof doors or windows) or
inspection and screening systems (e.g. walk-through magnetometers and
conveyor-belt x-ray systems used to screen personnel and packages for hazardous
materials or devices).

Additionally, nonprofit organization security
personnel may use NSGP funds to attend security-related training courses and
programs. Allowable training-related costs under NSGP are limited to attendance
fees for the training, and related expenses, such as materials, supplies, or
equipment. Allowable training topics are limited to the protection of Critical
Infrastructure/ Key Resources, including physical and cyber security,
target-hardening, and terrorism awareness/employee preparedness. Not all
eligible nonprofit organizations and UASI communities are guaranteed to receive
funding under the FY 2007 NSGP. Allocation decisions will be made based on risk
and how well applicants address program requirements through their investment
justifications.

Nonprofit organizations must submit applications through
their SAA to be considered eligible for an award of up to $100,000. Nonprofit
organizations must agree to match 25 percent of federal grant funds in cash or
through equivalent, related training. In the case of training projects, awardees
must meet the matching requirement through cash. For example, the costs of
training security guards on new screening equipment purchased under the grant
would meet the match requirement.

In FY 2005, DHS awarded $25 million to
18 high-risk urban areas to support security improvements for nonprofit
organizations in their jurisdictions. Together with the FY 2007 grants, DHS
direct support to safeguard nonprofit organizations now totals over $49
million.SAAs must submit applications for the FY 2007 UASI NSGP online at www.grants.gov by 11:59 p.m. EDT on June 22,
2007.

For more information on the FY 2007 UASI NSGP and other DHS grant
programs, visit www.dhs.gov.

ACTION REQUESTED:

All
eligible 501(c)(3) American mosques and other Islamic institutions are urged to
begin the application process to receive training and to purchase equipment such
as video cameras, alarm systems and other security enhancements.

UPDATE:
In other CAIR scams, here's is audio of Niwad Awad discussing his problems.

RIYADH, 7 January 2007 — With the aim of strengthening business ties,two
Riyadh business partners in their 70s have married their teenage daughters
(17-19) to each other, reported Sayidaty magazine, a sister publication of Arab
News.

“A man has the right to marry. When it comes to marriage, there is no
stopping point,” said Al-Dossary, a man in his 70s with silver hair, a gray
beard and gray eyebrows.“We have followed Islamic principles in the way we
conducted our marriages and we are both happy with our wives,” he added.[...]When asked if they had consulted their daughters, Al-Qahtani said: “I did not
ask my daughter. I don’t have to. I know what is beneficial for her. When I told
her what I had planned, she was happy. If she hadn’t been, she would have told
her mother.”

..........a girl does not have the right to
express her opinion about marriage, especially if her father and brothers have
decided on a particular man. In both our cases, we have been married for a long
time and have had no problems with our wives. Although we are much older than
our wives, the fact that we are together proves that we are right for each
other.”

He added: “Saudi girls, especially bedouins, prefer to marry old men. This is
what my third and fourth wives have both told me. They keep telling me they are
glad that they did not marry young men.”

He added: “Saudi girls, especially bedouins, prefer to marry old men. This is

Has Rosie announced that Bush and Co. were responsible for this road collapse? Just as she contends Bush and Co were behind the 9/11 collapse of the Twin Towers (STEEL DOESN'T MELT!) - seems concrete wouldn't either if you follow Rosie's science.

When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, Nancy Peloshia, concluded....hat tip Clyde

"We need to
raise the
standard of living of our poor, unemployed, and minorities. For example, we
have an
estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help
along with
millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes
could go a long
ways to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to
have as
'Americans'."

Like most Americans, I am confused about the recent public announcements of George Tenet — not the usual Beltway “he said/she said” sort of accusations and meae culpae that we are accustomed from former officials plugging “inside story” memoirs, but how exactly we are now to digest past statements in light of present behavior. Victor Davis Hanson NRO

Hanson questions Tenet's motivation in changing his story. Seems pretty clear to me. He wants to sell a lot of books, make money, and come out smelling like a rose.

“CIA Director George J. Tenet, questioned about the value of ongoing inspections by the United Nations, , said there is “little
chance you’ll find weapons of mass destruction” in Iraq unless Hussein
cooperates with inspectors. On the other hand, Tenet said he would
expect U.S. troops “will find caches of weapons of mass destruction,
absolutely,” were they to invade the country.

If the United
States decides not to go to war with Iraq and instead waits on
inspectors, Hussein will continue developing weapons of mass
destruction, Tenet said. “He will continue to strengthen himself over
time,” he said. “It never gets any better with this fellow, and he’s
never been a status quo guy.”

Tenet also elaborated on the CIA’s
understanding of Iraq’s link to al Qaeda, a central issue in the
administration’s case for going to war against Iraq in the near future,
as opposed to waiting months longer for the U.N. inspectors to do more
work. Tenet described Abu Musab Zarqawi, the main character in
the administration’s case that Iraq is working with al Qaeda now, as it
had not done in the past, as a “senior al Qaeda associate.” Zarqawi
sought medical care in Baghdad, has met with Osama bin Laden, has been
financially supported by al Qaeda and has taken “sustenance” from Iraq.
But Zarqawi, he pointed out, is not under the control of Hussein.”

Both
the description of Zarqawi as a threat with al Qaeda links and enjoying
sanctuary in Iraq without being under the control of Saddam Hussein
seems born out by his later deadly career and blustering letters to al
Qaeda heads. So why the contrition now on that casus belli?
Al Qaeda was responsible for killing 3,000 Americans; one of its worst
terrorists was freely enjoying sanctuary in Iraq; what has changed
about that fact?

Tonight's feature: The Stranger Edward G Robinson, Orson Welles, Loretta Young Directed by Orson Welles. And while it's not The Magnificent Ambersons - it is Welles and Robinson. And I love everything Welles did - even those wine commericals.

Many Welles supporters complain that The Stranger lacks the overt stylistic flourishes of his more celebrated efforts, such as The Lady from Shanghai (1947) and Othello (1952). While it is true that his trademark style is more restrained in The Stranger,
it is still recognisable as a Welles film. For example, the opening
sequence – where Meinike is released from prison – features the use of
German Expressionistic lighting (in particular, the use of silhouettes)
that Welles used so effectively in Citizen Kane (1941). After
Meinike and Wilson arrive in Connecticut, Welles uses a swooping
high-angle establishing shot to give a God's-eye-view that anticipates
a similar shot at the beginning of Touch of Evil (both films were shot by Russell Metty). Welles also utilises low-angle shots (used effectively in Kane) in a school gymnasium when Meinike gets the upper hand on Wilson.

Welles' love of long-takes is also evident in The Stranger
during a four-minute scene between Meinike and Kindler in the woods.
This leads into one of the best sequences of the film, in which Kindler
frantically covers up a dead body in the woods, while several of his
students are participating in a paper-chase nearby. The use of dramatic
music and Welles' panicked, paranoid facial expressions create palpable
tension in this scene as the teacher is almost caught by his pupils. More here.

Iraqi Boy Scouts Prepare for Jamboree Strategy Page here. The defeatocrats would love to squash this budding democracy. Despite their best efforts, you cannot kill hope.

And BTW, US forces have killed an Al-Qaeda kingpin they allege sent 12-year-old Iraqi boys to their deaths as suicide car bombers, they said Wednesday, amid an intense battle with insurgents around Baghdad. More here.

when I spoke of the US not taking responsibility for the "religious civil war"
this is what I mean. This whole episode is just a terrorist tactic that was
spawned from the evil mind of our long dead friend former Al Qaeda in Iraq
leader, Zarquawi. Realizing that their efforts were yielding no positive
results, actually being defeated, they kindled the age ole fire, sectarian
violence based upon the 8th century murder of Muhammad's grandson Ali in
Karbala, sometime mid 700 AD.

To counter that Chucklehead Supreme, Mookie
al Sadr then had a renewed raison d'etre for his Mahdi Army, which we could have
crushed back in 2004.

If our Democrat friends dont understand that this
is not a result of US efforts but a deliberate event supported by the man in the
Members Only jacket and Baby Asaad (Syria, Sunni, Baathist Alawite). We pull
back, we miss the opportunity to thwart this now, not later.

BTW, a wonderful voice has been added to the cacophony of the rational blogosphere. Babba Zee, comrade in arms and brilliant LGF commenter, has started a blog. And a damn good one Babba Zee's brains, here.

This is terrible. Sandmonkey, my favorite Egyptian blogger, actually - Middle Easterm blogger quits blogging. I knew this was coming. His life is in jeopardy. Can't we get him out? Please read it all here. This is what is happening to the voices of reason, freedom and moderation but Peloshia and her insurgents are inviting the Muslim Brotherhood to Washington. Ugh.

One of the chief reasons is the fact that there has been too much heat around me
lately. I no longer believe that my anonymity is kept, especially with State
Secuirty agents lurking around my street and asking questions about me since that day. I ignore that, the same way I
ignored all the clicking noises that my phones started to exhibit all of a

bolder and more reckless at a time where everybody else started being more
cautious. It took me a while to take note of the fear that has been gripping our
little blogsphere and comprehend what it really means. The prospects for
improvment, to put it slightly, look pretty grim. I was the model of caution,
and believing in my invincipility by managing not to get arrested for the past 2
and a half years, I've grown reckless. Stupid Monkey. Stupid!

This entire culture must be destroyed. There is no two state solution. You can not gift savages bases in which to murder. DROP THE TWO STATE SOLUTION. It's a fable.

Andy Bostom author of ‘The Legacy of
Islam’ and a forthcoming companion volume, ‘The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism’
has an interested ‘nugget’ of analysis he’s come up with from a survey of the
Muslim world by a credible group and significant represenative sample. To
wit:

‘Polling data just released (April 24, 2007) in a rigorously
conducted face-to-face University of Maryland/ WorldPublicOpinion.org interview
survey of 4384 Muslims conducted between December 9, 2006 and February 15,
2007—1000 Moroccans, 1000 Egyptians, 1243 Pakistanis, and 1141
Indonesians—reveal that 65.2% of those interviewed—almost 2/3, hardly a “fringe
minority”—desired this outcome (i.e., “To unify all Islamic countries into a
single Islamic state or Caliphate”), including 49% of “moderate” Indonesian
Muslims. The internal validity of these data about the present longing for a
Caliphate is strongly suggested by a concordant result: 65.5% of this Muslim
sample approved the proposition “To require a strict [emphasis added]
application of Shari’a law in every Islamic country.”

What these survey data results that Bostom has analyzed tell us is that a
clear majority of the Muslim ummah favor a caliphate and strict application of
sharia law.

Tells me that ‘assumptions’ about moderate Muslims being in the majority of
the ummah is a veritable misnomer. But then Muslim advocacy groups have bought
into the Religion of Peace ‘branding’ to dissaude us with their soothing
taqiyyah. They have even duped politicians at the highest levels in our
government and a fair number of media pundits who believe that extremists are a
‘thin’ minority.

Writing in 1916, C. Snouck Hurgronje, the great Dutch Orientalist,
underscored how the jihad doctrine of world conquest, and the re-creation of a
supranational Islamic Caliphate remained a potent force among the Muslim masses:

…it would be a gross mistake to imagine that the idea of universal conquest
may be considered as obliterated…the canonists and the vulgar still live in the
illusion of the days of Islam’s greatness. The legists continue to ground their
appreciation of every actual political condition on the law of the holy war,
which war ought never be allowed to cease entirely until all mankind is reduced
to the authority of Islam—the heathen by conversion, the adherents of
acknowledged Scripture [i.e., Jews and Christians] by submission.

Hurgronje further noted that although the Muslim rank and file might
acknowledge the improbability of that goal “at present” (circa 1916), they
were,

…comforted and encouraged by the recollection of the lengthy period of
humiliation that the Prophet himself had to suffer before Allah bestowed victory
upon his arms…

Thus even at the nadir of Islam’s political power, during the World War I
era final disintegration of the Ottoman Empire, Hurgronje observed how

…the common people are willingly taught by the canonists and feed their
hope of better days upon the innumerable legends of the olden time and the
equally innumerable apocalyptic prophecies about the future. The political blows
that fall upon Islam make less impression…than the senseless stories about the
power of the Sultan of Stambul [Istanbul], that would instantly be revealed if
he were not surrounded by treacherous servants, and the fantastic tidings of the
miracles that Allah works in the Holy Cities of Arabia which are inaccessible to
the unfaithful. The conception of the Khalifate [Caliphate] still exercises a
fascinating influence, regarded in the light of a central point of union against
the unfaithful (i.e., non-Muslims). [emphasis added] CONTINUE

Al Qaeda leader, mastermind of the London train bombings, was seized by American's finest - our military in Iraq.

This is our enemy. This is war. This is 9/11, Khobar, Cole .......... all of it. And those yellow bellied pussified Democrats are crying and whining for defeat. Begging to lose, begging to shame us in front of the world and our enemies, to run home with our tail between our legs and the devil chomping at our heels. I can't stand those cowards.The Democrats. Wrong on every issue. Kudlow: Al Qaeda Is the Problem in Iraq

The al-Qaeda leader who is thought to have devised the plan for the July 7
suicide bombings in London and an array of terrorist plots against Britain
has been captured by the Americans.

Abd al-Hadi al-Iraqi, a former major in Saddam Hussein’s army, was apprehended
as he tried to enter Iraq from Iran and was transferred this week to the
“high-value detainee programme” at Guantanamo Bay.

Abd al-Hadi was taken into CIA custody last year, it emerged from US
intelligence sources yesterday, in a move which suggests that he was
interrogated for months in a “ghost prison” before being transferred to the
internment camp in Cuba.

Abd al-Hadi, 45, was regarded as one of al-Qaeda’s most experienced, most
intelligent and most ruthless commanders. Senior counter-terrorism sources
told The Times that he was the man who, in 2003, identified Britain
as the key battleground for exporting al-Qaeda’s holy war to Europe.

This is the Iran's modus operandi. Iran uses proxies to wage war. Hamas, Hezb'Allah, Syria, Peloshia - all Iranian proxies. This what they do.

Leading Kurd Blames Iran for Terror in
Iraq - Eli LakeWhile Iran's connection to Sunni Islamist terrorism
is hotly debated in Washington, it is not disputed in Iraqi Kurdistan which
borders Iran. In an interview Tuesday, the director of the security ministry for
Sulaimaniya province, Sarkawt Hassan Jalal, said he has no doubt Iran is helping
send Sunni jihadists into his territory. He listed the five border towns
on the Iranian side where he says they are based: Mariwan, Pejwan, Bokan, Sina,
and Serdai. For General Jalal, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's original group, known as
Tawhid and Jihad, was sent by the Iranians and al-Qaeda to attack the Kurds and
Americans. "Iran is at the top of the terrorism in all the world. There will be
peace in the world when you change the authorities in Iran," he concluded.
